is skiing safer

Video

I saw this back country snow boarding video a year ago. Friken crazy bastards. I think some of it is Sean White. Guys, whats the name ??? Help me out.......Maybe First Descent????

Sleds wouldnt have a chance. JMO:D
 
Most back country skiers (over 30 years old) are done after 2 maybe 3 rides down a mountain cause thier knees hurt so much.

Anyway I know lots of sledders who used to ski but not the other way.
 
a lot of skiers in ak dont like snowmachiners........

I know of a few "Stick Walkers" that LOVE us when they try to go too far into the hills and then it gets too dark and cold for them and they beg for a ride out.

I've pulled two groups out of the mountains in the past.

20 minutes later they probably hate us again though.:mad:
 
Wow, cool vid. I have to admit I love to watch avalanches. Too bad something so pretty to watch is so deadly.
 
One of the dudes riding out of one of the avy's in that first vid is Travis Rice. One of the best backcountry boarders in the world.
 
My sled is my chair lift to skiing some of the best mountains in the world! And I am 30 and it will take a lot more than two or three times down a mountain to wear these knees out!
 
moslty all of the 20 plus friends i know that ride either started out or still ski or snowboard before snowmobiling. a lot use there sleds to get to the skiing or build jumps.
 
Ditto

Good vid. last scene done by specialist in Telluride--can't think of name--who spends a lot of time setting off charges and filming slide charactaristics. Been backcountry skiing for 20+ yrs sledskiing for 5+ (only way to get into the phat terrain in Montucky) Just remember to turn the sled off once you get there heh heh... my impression is boarder friends use machine for laps more than skiers. Lots of supposed "sledskiers" never unhook their boards. Lost more friends than I can count on my hands skiing haven't lost any friends sledding yet(knock on piston!)
